Hi, I'm sorry, I misunderstood the question. I thought you wanted to start off as a normal user, and run the script as an administrator. &nbsp;But you're looking at doing this the other way round, by starting with an elevated prompt, and running the command as a normal user.<br />
<br />
I don't that's immediately possible. What you've found is probably the best workaround for this situation.<br />

Hi all<br />
<br />
I need to be able to run an application from a elevated script. How do I do this??<br />
<br />
Right now, I'm using the script below, but this doesn't escape the elevation set by the UAC in Vista...<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance!<br />

<pre><code id="code-440634">Set WshShell = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)
WshShell.Run &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot; &amp; Property(&quot;CustomActionData&quot;) &amp; &quot;&quot;&quot;&quot;,4,False
Set WshShell = Nothing
</code></pre>

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
